What's actually worth your time in Mexico City
The Templo Mayor excavation beside the Zocalo earns its ticket because you walk the Mexica city Cortes buried under the cathedral. Teotihuacan, about ninety minutes northeast from Terminal Norte, deserves a whole morning before the sun reaches the Pyramid of the Sun. Castillo de Chapultepec repays the climb for Juan O Gorman's murals. The Angel de la Independencia on Reforma is a traffic-island photo stop.
What to eat in Mexico City
Al pastor is this city's proof of Lebanese migration: El Vilsito in Narvarte is a working auto shop by day and a trompo-lit taqueria after ten at night. Tostadas at the Coyoacan market counter, tlacoyos off comals in Roma, and quesadillas that arrive with no cheese unless you say con queso. Barbacoa is a Sunday morning ritual, and El Moro fries churros past midnight.
What things cost in Mexico City
A comida corrida of soup, main and agua fresca runs roughly 90 to 150 pesos in Roma or Centro. Tacos al pastor sit around 20 to 30 pesos each, so five plus a beer is a cheap dinner. The Metro is five pesos a ride with no day-pass equivalent on offer. Antropologia is 210 pesos for foreigners. Short Uber hops across Condesa rarely pass 90 pesos.
Mexico City with kids, realistically
Bosque de Chapultepec absorbs an entire day: the zoo costs nothing, Papalote Museo del Nino is built for touching, and the lake rents pedal boats. Xochimilco trajineras suit ages five and up, being flat-bottomed boats with no railings and food canoes pulling alongside. Metro stairs and crowding punish strollers, so a carrier travels better here. At 2,240 metres, small children tire far earlier than parents expect.
When the weather turns in Mexico City
Rain here is a schedule, not a surprise: from June through September it arrives most afternoons and clears by evening, so put indoor plans after three. Biblioteca Vasconcelos beside Buenavista is free and hallucinatory. La Ciudadela craft market is roofed, Casa de los Azulejos serves lunch under tile, and Cineteca Nacional in Xoco screens restorations. Streets flood quickly, so avoid the underpasses.
